"...Gorbachev, who resigned as Soviet leader 10 years ago, said, "We wanted to reform the USSR, turn it into a union of sovereign states.
Now this passage from THE COURIER is important and must be read with full understanding of such matters as who is the man who is famous for his policy of "perestroika" for example.
But, much more important than that is the new admission from Gorbachev that he believes and believed when he was in power in the USSR becoming a "union of sovereign states".

 Privatization in Turkey | Süleyman Yaþar
Starting a reform of restructurization and transparency in the USSR, Gorbachev gives more details about the collapsing Soviet economy: “As a result of all these studies and reviews, we discovered that our unit costs of labor, fuel and raw material was two or two and a half times higher than those of the Western countries.
Therefore, the sources of the State turned into a playfield for personal interests.” (Mihail Gorbachev, Memoirs, 1995).
In a way too similar to Mihail Gorbachev’s description of the collapsing Soviet economy in his memoirs, the Turkish economy allows personal and unfair interests to be gained from the sources of the State.

 CIA Set to Steal the Romanian Elections 2004!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Saakashvili is none other than the man who assisted for the last couple of years in the US’s theft of Caspian oil through the famous Baku-Tbilisi-Cehyan pipeline, whose route was clearly established by the American political thinkers in order to bypass Russia and to drain the Soviet oil right in the Americans- tanks.
Another thing also worthy to be mentioned is that the events that followed the elections in Ukraine have been orchestrated with the help and the participation of the same political figures who have made possible the chain of coups that led to the disintegration of the USSR in 1989.
Lech Walesa, Vaclav Havel and none other than Mihail Gorbachev, the passive mastermind of the disintegration of the USSR have now declared that Russia should not interfere with the results of the Ukrainian presidential election and that “it is important for the process to end democratically”.

The hatred we've seen for people like Mihail Gorbachev seems focused on their verbosity (Gorbachev gets on Russian TV, only to be cut off.) But verbosity itself may only be the process of peaceful change speaking the truth in Taoist fashion, a dripdrop of water wearing away the rock.
The authors in Temp Slave seem anti-intellectual and so exhausted by their jobs and pleasures that they would not sit still for a Gorbachev: but I cannot see how they then have any alternative to today's computerized and prison-like work place.
Human affairs do not follow the rules of machines and soldiering, goofing off and stealing time does not make it hard for the bosses.
